June 19 - Garcia In Brussels For EU Meetings
The Deputy Chief Minister Dr Joseph Garcia has left for Belgium today in order to attend a number of meetings with European Commission officials and MEPs.
In addition to this, Dr Garcia has been invited by Sir Graham Watson MEP to speak at a conference in Brussels organised by the International Centre for Parliamentary Studies (ICPS) on the subject of "Maritime Security for Blue Growth". Dr Garcia will address the issue from a Gibraltar perspective, given Gibraltar's important geographical location at the crossroads of the Mediterranean and the Atlantic.
The Care Agency organised its annual verbena for people who attend its elderly citizens’ day centres. This year it took place in the beautiful surroundings of the Calpe Rowing Club where day centre members were able to enjoy the beautiful views and sea breeze.
The Government and the Gibraltar Philatelic Bureau are issuing two stamps to commemorate the 300th Anniversary of the Treaty of Utrecht 1713-2013 on the 20th June.
Nick Cruz, PDP leader and a candidate in July’s by-election, this morning launched his manifesto. He described his campaign as a “really exciting and fresh opportunity for Gibraltar” and repeated his central message that, if elected, he would work to revolutionise how politics is conducted locally. Describing the current situation as “party squabbling,” he promised a more constructive approach that would move away from “acrimony and partisan politics.”
